Alabaster Box Lyrics - Cece Winans
Review The Song (10)
The room grew still
As she made her way to Jesus
She stumbles through the tears that made her blind
She felt such pain
Some spoke in anger
Heard folks whisper
There's no place here for her kind
Still on she came
Through the shame that flushed her face
Until at last, she knelt before his feet
And though she spoke no words
Everything she said was heard
As she poured her love for the Master
From her box of alabaster
[Refrain]
And I've come to pour
My praise on Him
Like oil from Mary's alabaster box
Don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
And I dry them with my hair
You weren't there the night He found me
You did not feel what I felt
When he wrapped his love all around me and
You don't know the cost of the oil
In my alabaster box
I can't forget the way life used to be
I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound
And I spent my days
Poured my life without measure
Into a little treasure box
I'd thought I'd found
Until the day when Jesus came to me
And healed my soul
With the wonder of His touch
So now I'm giving back to Him
All the praise He's worthy of
I've been forgiven
And that's why
I love Him so much
[Refrain]
And I've come to pour
My praise on Him
Like oil from Mary's alabaster box
Don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
And dry them with my hair (my hair)
You weren't there the night Jesus found me
You did not feel what I felt
When He wrapped his loving arms around me and
You don't know the cost of the oil
Oh, you don't know the cost of my praise
You don't know the cost of the oil
In my alabaster box
As she made her way to Jesus
She stumbles through the tears that made her blind
She felt such pain
Some spoke in anger
Heard folks whisper
There's no place here for her kind
Still on she came
Through the shame that flushed her face
Until at last, she knelt before his feet
And though she spoke no words
Everything she said was heard
As she poured her love for the Master
From her box of alabaster
[Refrain]
And I've come to pour
My praise on Him
Like oil from Mary's alabaster box
Don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
And I dry them with my hair
You weren't there the night He found me
You did not feel what I felt
When he wrapped his love all around me and
You don't know the cost of the oil
In my alabaster box
I can't forget the way life used to be
I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound
And I spent my days
Poured my life without measure
Into a little treasure box
I'd thought I'd found
Until the day when Jesus came to me
And healed my soul
With the wonder of His touch
So now I'm giving back to Him
All the praise He's worthy of
I've been forgiven
And that's why
I love Him so much
[Refrain]
And I've come to pour
My praise on Him
Like oil from Mary's alabaster box
Don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
And dry them with my hair (my hair)
You weren't there the night Jesus found me
You did not feel what I felt
When He wrapped his loving arms around me and
You don't know the cost of the oil
Oh, you don't know the cost of my praise
You don't know the cost of the oil
In my alabaster box

Tears and Peace | Reviewer: Kim Meadows | 10/4/2007
My dear friend sings this song in church. It is my very favorite song of any of the songs she sings or the ones we do together. The very second the words come from her mouth I feel the holy spirit giving me such peace. There's not one time that I don't cry. You just know when the holy spirit is in a song because no matter how many times you hear it, you'll get a different blessing or message. Praise God for His Grace

I really get edified each time the sound of the music gets into my ears. I really pray that the good Lord will continue to inspire you the more.May God bless all those who will find time to listen to this wonderful song from Cece. Amen.
Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever | Reviewer: Steve K. Banza | 7/9/2007
I just lost one of my friend, Guylaine , and am so troubled about what life really is.
But when I am listening to this song, it helps me better ponder on what life is, the grace we got from God to have eternal life. This also help me get closer to Jesus, the one who knows the price of the oil, th tears, every smaller gestures we do for him and his kingdom, even a cup of bitter water.
Why do we have to suffer to please men? Our God is not difficult to please. Cece, you have just accomplished what Jesus said to the persons who were angry: Wherever the Gospel will be preached, what this woman has done, will not be forgotten.

no one knows the cost of YOUR OIL! | Reviewer: sharon | 6/16/2007
The words are so anointed,our daughter has been in kidney failure for the last three years and early on she was deathly ill and now daily we look at a miracle. She sings this song at church as a solo and because we know where she has come from it's like her personal testamony. We praise God for your ministry.
Unforgettable experience in Gods presence. | Reviewer: Jeff Oyugi | 3/30/2007

Truly Cece, the hand of God is upon you and May He continue to use you mightily to propagate the Gospel of Jesus christ. May the grace of God abide in you forever as long as you breath.!!!!!! SHALLOM.

This song has been a tremendous blessing to me.
the song depicts the pain of knowing that u r a nobody but u push pass the people who constantly judge u for where u are coming from. It give you hope that God still loves you even when u are at your worst.
i love this song | Reviewer: JHOVEL PINK | 2/24/2006
Cece i love this song. one sunday in church my pastor preached about when mary anointed jesus' feet with the oil she took from her alabaster box and my God it was awesome it was like God himself came down and stand in the middle of the church and was just throughing his anionting all over it was a touch down from heaven, God came down and kiss the earth in church that day.I just love this song and i wonder how many of us would save up all our pays just to buy a colonge to wash jesus' feet my God continue girl and let the Lord have his way in your life everyday and i pray that as you start a new week God will be the leader and you'll make your self available to him. Be Blessed.
